NOVEMBER 2019 | NEWSLETTER
As we take time to reflect during this season of gratitude, we extend our deepest thanks to all those who are leading, seeding, and nurturing our collective work. We are especially grateful to Rise Up Leaders, who work on the front lines of the most  pressing issues in the fight for gender equity; Rise Up grantees and community partners, who sow and sustain the seeds of change in their communities and countries; and Rise Up funders and donors, whose unwavering investment in our vision and model helps us scale our impact around the globe. Together, our collective impact is bigger than we could have imagined.

In the coming weeks we will share the results of a new external evaluation of Rise Up’s impact over the last decade, so stay tuned for more details about the power of our collective work. Thank you for being part of this community! We are just getting started.
As the year comes to a close and we celebrate our 10th Anniversary with you, we hope you feel inspired this #GivingTuesday to join us in investing in the leadership and power of girls, youth, and women. With your support, we are activating girls, youth, and women around the world to rise up and transform their lives, families, and communities for a more just and equitable world. Click here or on the button below to make a #GivingTuesday donation to advance gender equity across the globe in 2020 and beyond!

INVESTING IN YOUTH-LED INNOVATION

Earlier this year, Rise Up brought together our third cohort of Youth Champions for an intensive week-long Incubator in San Francisco. These 22 young leaders from Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Rwanda, Mississippi, and Louisiana strengthened their leadership and built their capacity to advance sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) for young people in their communities.

This diverse and talented group of Rise Up Youth Champions graduated from the Incubator equipped with a new network and the tools and resources to design SRHRJ solutions for the next generation. Following the Incubator, the Youth Champions each had the opportunity to apply for seed funding from Rise Up to launch their own innovative projects to promote SRHRJ. After a competitive proposal process, we are excited to announce the selection of our grantees.
